DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona Beach shoppers have a new option for getting last-minute gifts and everyday essentials delivered in hours.
Amazon has opened a Same-Day Delivery facility in the city ahead of the holiday shopping season, bringing more than 100 full-time jobs with starting pay of at least $20 an hour.

Local customers can receive eligible orders in as little as one hour, with three-hour delivery also available. Standard same-day orders arrive in about five hours. The facility handles fulfillment, sorting and delivery under one roof, helping move purchases from shelves to doorsteps faster.
The service covers millions of items, including household essentials, electronics, beauty products, clothing and home and garden supplies. Prime members pay $9.99 for one-hour delivery or $4.99 for three-hour delivery.
“We continue to invest in the Sunshine State and Daytona Beach is the latest example,” said Will York, the facility’s site lead. “With this new facility, customers get same-day deliveries while bringing more than 100 new jobs with great benefits and pay.”
Employees receive health, vision and dental coverage starting on their first day.
The opening brings Amazon’s footprint in Volusia County to five facilities. Keith Norden, president and CEO of Team Volusia Economic Development Corp., said the company has become one of the county’s largest employers.
“Team Volusia is excited to welcome the launch of Amazon’s newest facility in Daytona Beach, which will further enhance delivery options for our residents and businesses,” Norden said.
The opening also comes during Amazon’s holiday hiring push, which includes more than 21,000 seasonal, part-time and full-time roles across Florida. More than 2,000 of those positions are in Central Florida.
